  • Summary

  • For many years, bike brands have been known to collaborate with automobile and Formula 1 companies in order to align themselves with their halo of high level performance, innovation and technology. But factor bikes started in reverse to that. Factor might seem like a relative newcomer in the market, and that's partially true. It's been a mere eight years since their bikes became widely available, but they got their start almost 16 years ago when a gentleman named John Bailey came along, who owned a Formula One data measurement and composites company. His company was called British Formula One, or BF-1 for short. John wasn't even a cyclist, but he wanted a project for his team of engineers to work on that showcased BF-1's capabilities and technology to his automotive market. He did this by launching a bike into the future and breaking every rule in the book.
